Sounds good, I was just using "normal" in the sense that having lua
run the mainloop is a little like having the tail wag the dog. It
sounds like you're doing something a little more advanced though, good
luck.

You may still want to consider using wxEVT_IDLE though since I think
that's what is typically suggested on the C++ wxusers mailing list for
doing pseudo-threading like this.
